routing.
ATTENTION!  VINX Encoder and Decoder send certain system commands over multicast packages. If the
multicast routing is disabled on the network, the signal transmission may fail.
Layer 2 vs. Layer 3 Switch
The VINX Encoders and Decoders use multicast routing. The managed switch in the network shall offer the
following capabilities:
▪ IGMPv2
▪ IGMP snooping
▪ IGMP fast leave
